CCPR/C/117/D/2124/2011 “The demographic composition of the population is the biggest problem in the Netherlands. I am talking about what comes to the Netherlands and what multiplies here. If you look at the figures and its development. Muslims will move from the big cities to the countryside. We have to stop the tsunami of Islamization. That stabs us in the heart, in our identity, in our culture. If we do not defend ourselves, then all other items from my programme will prove to be worthless”. (ii) Questioned about whether Islam and crime were related, he answered: “Absolutely. The figures are proving so. One out of five Moroccan youngsters has a police record. Their behaviour arises from their religion and culture. You can’t look at that detachedly. The Pope was completely right when he was saying that Islam is a violent religion. Islam means submission and conversion of non-Muslims. That interpretation applies in the living rooms of those delinquents and in the mosques. It is in the communities themselves”. (iii) “Everyone adopts our dominant culture. Those who will not do so won’t be here anymore in 20 years. They will be expelled”. (iv) “Those Moroccan guys are truly violent. They beat up people based on their sexual origin”. (b) In an Internet column of 6 February 2007, at www.geenstijl.nl or at www.pvv.nl (the website of Mr. Wilders’ party), he noted that: “In last Saturday’s Nederlands Dagblad, Professor Raphael Israeli was quoted predicting a ‘third Islamic invasion of Europe’ by means of ‘penetration, propaganda, conversion and demographic change’. According to him, Europeans are committing demographic suicide with the marching of Islam. The first Islamic invasion was stopped in the year 732 at Poitiers after the conquest of Spain, Portugal and southern France and the second attempted invasion by the Ottoman Turks was turned back from the city gates of Vienna, when they were fortunately wiped out over there in 1683. According to Professor Israeli, the third attempt that is now going on in Europe has much more chance of succeeding. The man is perfectly right”. (c) In De Pers on 13 February 2007, he stated: (i) “We had enough. The borders are closed, no more Islamic people coming to the Netherlands, a lot of Muslims exiting the Netherlands, denaturalization of Islamic criminals”. (ii) “The former chief of Mossad, Efraim Halevy, says that the Third World War has begun. I am not using those words, but it is correct”. (iii) “I have good intentions. We allow something to happen as a result of which this turns into a completely different society. I do know that there is no Islamic majority in a couple of decades. However, the number is growing. With aggressive elements, imperialism. Walk in the street and see where this ends. You feel that you are no longer living in your own country. A conflict is going on and we have to defend ourselves. In due time, there will be more mosques than churches!” (d) In de Volkskrant on 8 August 2007, he said: (i) “How ashamed I feel for all those within and outside of Government or Parliament who are refusing to stop the Islamic invasion in the Netherlands! How ashamed I feel for Dutch politicians who are accepting day after day the overrepresentation of aliens in delinquency and crime and don’t have an answer to that!” “The Hague is full of cowards. Frightened people who were born cowardly and who will die cowardly. They are of the opinion and they will encourage that the Dutch 4
